Spline-fit surface and contour image of a diamond-cubic {111} surface containing 243 columns of atoms. Simulation was equilibrated for 400,000 Monte Carlo moves per surface site at a temperature kT=0.3J, where J is the bond energy.
Same as above except at a temperature kT=0.4J, where J is the bond energy. This surface is "prerough".
